HDMI Resolution*

The items supported by the connected devices are indicated on the screen as “¢”. When any item without “¢” is selected, the images may be distorted.

≥480p≥720p

≥1080i≥1080p

–When outputting 1080p signal, we recommend using High Speed HDMI Cables that have the HDMI logo (as shown on the cover) and are less than 5.0 meters to prevent video distortion etc.

–When the unit is connected to an amplifier/receiver that does not support the resolution set on the unit, the video cannot be output properly. In this case, use the HDMI cable to connect the unit to the TV and then connect the unit to the amplifier/receiver using a cable other than HDMI.

–To enjoy high definition video up-converted to 1080p, you need to connect the unit directly to 1080p compatible HDTV (High Definition Television). If this unit is connected to an HDTV through other equipment, it must also be 1080p compatible.
